Simple shell script to be written

shsandeep · #1 (**permalink**) 07-17-2006

There are 2 shell script files sh1 and sh2.
sh2 contains records such as 01 02 03 on different lines.
In sh1, I would like to read each record of sh2 till end of file, concatenate them with a comma(,) and store in a variable.

Can somebody please help me with the sh1 script?
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
San.

I am a newbie to shell scripting, so have not started anything....
Here is what sh2 will have:
01
02
03
04
05

In sh1, I would like to have a variable 'str' to have '01,02,03,04,05' in it.

Thanks for replying...

Cheers,
San.

Code:

#! /bin/sh
str=`cat sh2`
echo $str

Thanks for the solution...
However, I need a comma separator in between as well.
Current solution: '01 02 03'
Required: '01,02,03'

Cheers,
San.

Just substitute the " "(white space with commas) as below:

echo $str | sed 's/ /,/g'
